Health care. Field-Programmable Analog Array. A Field-Programmable Analog Array, usually abbreviated FPAA, is the analog equivalent of the FPGA, a digital programmable device such as those made by Actel, Xilinx, and Altera.

Unlike the FPGAs, which contain a large number of modules and interconnections allowing arbitrary configurations of combinatorial and sequential logic, FPAA devices typically contain a small number of CABs (Configurable Analog Blocks). The resources of each CAB varies widely between different commercially available and research devices. FPAAs directed toward standard analog design typically feature a CAB containing an operational amplifer, programmable capacitor arrays (PCAs), and either programmable resistor arrays for continuous-time circuits or configurable switches for switched-capacitor circuits. The FPAA we are developing assumes that a substantial market for FPAA devices exists in the Space community (manufacturers of satellites and deep space probes).

The lawsuit sought unspecified damages against several top national security officials for the deaths from two drone strikes in Yemen in 2011; the victims also included Samir Khan and Mr. Awlaki’s teenage son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. In April, Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the case, deferring to the government’s national-security arguments. In a statement, Nasser al-Awlaki, the father of Mr. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights helped bring the suit, and the rights center said in a statement that “our system of checks and balances failed these families.”

Rick Perry and John McCain tag team against Rand Paul Sunday morning.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry called Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) an “isolationist” once again during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning, echoing his Washington Post op-ed Friday, where he blasted Paul’s foreign policy. “I disagree with Senator Paul’s representation of what America should be doing.
